Chapter 107 - 107: Free Gift
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shopkeeper Lei had an ominous feeling. “What’s wrong? Could it be that Fragrance Restaurant has also reduced its price?”
The servant looked up with a bitter expression. “No, they gave it away for free.”
After Shopkeeper Xu received the recipe that Xiaoxiao gave him for free, he started his plan of making pickled vegetables in a low profile manner that night. He was just waiting for Shopkeeper Lei of the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant to make a move. When he found out that they would start paying half the price at noon, Shopkeeper Xu immediately hung up the sign “Free pickled vegetables”.
As long as they were spending money in the shop, regardless of whether they were eating or just drinking tea, as long as the customers wanted to, they could go to the condiment area to get a plate of pickled vegetables at any time. These pickled vegetables included sour bamboo shoots that had just appeared some time ago.
On one hand, it was half price, and on the other hand, it was free and unlimited. The customers were not stupid. Of course, they knew how to choose.
Who would eat their fill with pickled vegetables when they came to a restaurant? Then, other business came.
Hence, Shopkeeper Lei, who was smug and prepared to teach Shopkeeper Xu a lesson, was counterattacked. He was so angry that he smashed more than 10 teacups. However, what he did was dishonorable and he could not ask for an explanation. Thinking of this, he became even angrier.
The servant suggested, “Why don’t we go to the Ning Family and beat them up to vent our anger?”
Shopkeeper Lei raised his leg and kicked him. “Do you think that the new county magistrate is just for show? We had a reason last time. If you cause trouble again this time, we have to bear the consequences if anything happens. Don’t forget that they are considered related to the Fragrance Restaurant…”
The liveliness of the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant only lasted for the time of a meal. Shopkeeper Xu had fought with Shopkeeper Lei for so many years, but this was the first time he had won so happily. Although he always said that Lei Wanjun was just a despicable person and would make some stupid moves from time to time, he was still often disgusted.
His rationality determined that he could not lower the quality of the restaurant by competing at a low price like Shopkeeper Lei. However, he could tolerate the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant stepping on his bottom line time and time again.
After venting their anger, the Fragrance Restaurant pushed out a new product Ruyi bun. They looked like they were going to pursue the victory and suppress the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant to the point where they could no longer cause trouble.
The appearance of this thing greatly attracted the diners who had already eaten enough meat buns and pickled vegetables buns. Soon, it became the most popular new topic in the county.
Shopkeeper Xu had yet to decide on the final collaboration method with Xiaoxiao regarding the prawn dumplings and more food suppliers in the future. However, he bought a month’s worth of the Ruyi bun’s seasoning sauce for 20 taels first.
Xiaoxiao was careful. She did not send seasoning powder, but sauce that could not see the raw ingredients. She sealed the flavored sauce in the pickled vegetable jar and sent it to the restaurant with the sour bamboo shoots once every seven days. The rest of the steps were carried out in the Fragrance Restaurant’s kitchen.
This way, the Ning Family would keep a low profile and not cause trouble. As long as the Fragrance Restaurant sent people to keep an eye on the sauce pot, the recipe would not be stolen.
Of course, Shopkeeper Xu could not help but ask the restaurant’s chefs to try to match the sauce. Unfortunately, they had not succeeded so far. No wonder the little girl from the Ning Family was so confident in the confidentiality of the crystal skin formula.
He was very interested in the crystal prawn dumplings and Xiaoxiao even more. He was sure that if he could open the snack shop, Ning Xiaoxiao would definitely be able to come up with more than one surprise. Hence, he was very concerned about the collaboration method she proposed and wrote to his boss honestly that day.
He felt that he was even more attentive to this matter than Xiaoxiao, the person involved, because he was still craning his neck every day to wait for a reply. Ning Xiaoxiao actually said that she wanted to treat him at home and asked her brother to deliver the goods today. She did not come.
If she did not come, he would not have anything delicious. He could not go to the Ruyi Clothing Shop to see Shopkeeper Liu in the name of food.. He was unhappy…
